Appreciation is Nice

What are the rewards for the things that we do?  There are a lot of rewards  that come with blogging and helping other diabetics out.  That is one of the main reasons that I continue to do this.  It also helps me cope with any issues that I may have, but I know that it is helping others too.  From time to time it is great to see physical examples of the appreciation of the work that you do.

So, now let me get to the point of this post.  Every Friday at my job they send out a company newsletter highlighting some of the work that we have been doing for clients as well as spotlighting several other fun things.  The other day in the cafeteria I was talking to the head of our Marketing and Communications team who supervises the weekly newsletter about diabetes and my blog and some of the goals and initiatives that I have with my blog.  He was very excited about it and told me to send him the links to the blog and Facebook page.

Yesterday when I read the newsletter, this is what was included (please click to view larger):

Quote – “ We know that we all work with amazing people, but this is just awesome. Did you know that Chris Stocker is a national leader when it comes to advocating for people with diabetes? He has an informative and motivating blog and Facebook page, so please check them out and give him some “like” and re-tweeting support. Great work Chris – you’re an inspiration to us all!”

 

This is just awesome.  It doesn’t matter that it was spotlighting me, but the fact that it was spotlighting diabetes and how diabetes awareness was spread to over 150 people instantly with an e-mail.  This makes you feel that what you are doing is well worth it and that you are accomplishing things.

By the way, #dsma got some face time too with the banner.
